Two College Football Teams Ate 5,000 Pounds of Food at Outback Steakhouse

It's no surprise that college football players can eat a lot, but two teams proved just how much they can put away at a complementary dinner at Outback Steakhouse last week. According to theBleacher Report, the LSU Tigers and the Iowa Hawkeyes were invited to a "feast" at Outback Steakhouse before they compete in the Outback Bowl on January 1. The two teams consumed a whopping 5,000 pounds of grub, which consisted of "750 pounds of sirloin steak topped with 40 gallons of Diablo Sauce, 750 pounds of chicken, and 900 pounds of ribs all cooked over a wood fire grill. Also 700 pounds of house salad, 400 pounds of baked potatoes topped with butter and sour cream, 1,600 coconut shrimp, 160 bloomin' onions, 1,600 honey wheat dinner rolls, 1,200 pounds of cheese cake, 80 gallons barbecue sauce, and dozens of cases of soda and water." Luckily the players have some time to recover because playing football with 5,000 pounds of food rumbling around in their stomachs probably wouldn't be the best idea.
